Florida gubernatorial candidate and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) has been making waves in the political scene as he responds to criticism from Governor Ron DeSantis (R) about his lack of involvement in conservative victories in the state. In an interview with The Hill on Wednesday, Donalds confidently defended his record in the state legislature, stating that it speaks for itself.
“My record when I was in the state legislature speaks for itself,” Donalds told The Hill. “I even…”
Donalds’ response comes after Governor DeSantis questioned his conservative credentials and involvement in Florida’s recent successes. However, Donalds is not one to back down from a challenge and is determined to set the record straight.
During his time in the state legislature, Donalds has been a strong advocate for conservative values and has worked tirelessly to pass legislation that benefits the people of Florida. He has been a vocal supporter of lower taxes, smaller government, and protecting the Second Amendment rights of Floridians.
One of Donalds’ most notable achievements was his role in passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2018, which provided significant tax relief for Florida families and businesses. He also played a key role in passing legislation that expanded school choice options for parents and students, giving them more control over their education.
In addition to his legislative accomplishments, Donalds has also been a strong voice for the conservative movement in Florida. He has been a frequent speaker at conservative events and has been endorsed by prominent conservative figures such as Senator Rand Paul and Congressman Matt Gaetz.
Donalds’ commitment to conservative values has not gone unnoticed by his colleagues in the state legislature. In fact, he was awarded the “Champion of Economic Freedom” award by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation for his dedication to promoting economic growth and individual liberty.
Despite Governor DeSantis’ criticism, Donalds remains confident in his record and his ability to lead Florida towards a brighter future. He believes that his experience in the state legislature has prepared him for the role of governor and that his conservative principles will guide him in making decisions that benefit all Floridians.
“I am proud of my record in the state legislature and I am ready to take that experience to the next level as governor,” Donalds stated. “I am committed to continuing the conservative victories in Florida and ensuring that our state remains a leader in economic growth and individual freedom.”
As the gubernatorial race heats up, it is clear that Donalds is a force to be reckoned with. His unwavering dedication to conservative values and his proven track record make him a strong contender for the governorship. With his sights set on the future, Donalds is ready to lead Florida towards a brighter and more prosperous tomorrow.
